Famished Cattle Find Water and Grass
Western cattle branded with the letters of the Emergency Relief administration, after they had been bought by
the government from farmers whose farms nre now nlmost waterless, are driven to an Island In the middle of the
Savannah river, near Augusta, Ga., where there are 300 acres of pastureland. It must feel great to them to get
back to water and real green grass again.

survey. The sale of the stamps will provide funds to help conserve ducks and geese and every one over sixteen years
of age who hunts migratory waterfowl Is required to purchase one of the new dollar stamps.

CONVENTION PRESCRIBES
DKAR Mrs. Post : Is It proper to
give a pharmacist the title of
"Doctor" or not? I am ahout to have
wedding announcements engraved and
am wavering between "Mister" and
"Doctor" because I don't know.
Answer: This Is really a question
of personal opinion, but best taste usu
ally confines such use of the title Dr.
to a D. D. or an M. D. or a D. D. S.
My dear Mrs. Post: The degression
has not sufficiently lifted from our
family und I must have n small house
wedding because of the expenses.
Please tell me how to plan un Infor
mal marriage service and still not
have things any old way?
Answer: You can't have an Informal
marriage service, because It Is a church
ceremony. The words ceremonial and
formal mean the snme thing. You can
of course have a simple wedding. Ar
range n background of flowers or tree
branches, or still more simply, stand
In front of drawn curtains. The serv
ice Is of course the mime for every
marriage: the clergyman enters ttrst,
the groom and best man follow him,
your maid of honor then enters alone,
and you with your father follow her.
After the ceremony you and your hus
band turn and face the guests who one
by one offer you their good wishes.
Serve wedding cake and a fruit punch.
If this seems to you not enough, ndd
sandwiches and either tea or coffee or
bouillon. This Is really plenty.
Dear Mrs. Post: Very often 1 have
it family In to dinner, of which one |
member la left-handed. My husband !
suggested that next time they are ex- I
pected I set one place at table with
the knives and spoons on the left side
of the plate and the forks on the
right. Is this ever done?
Answer: Not that I know of. Left
handed people must naturally accus
tom themselves to conventional table
setting. So much so tlmt It Is ques
tionable whether upsetting the regu
larity of your table would even add
to tho comfort of those who In pick
ing up Implements have become accus
tomed to cross their hands over their
plates.
MISCELLANEOUS
DRAR Mrs, Post : I like tinted nail
polish and my husband doesn't,
lie argues that siich polish Is decid
edly opposed to good taste. We have
gradually gotten into an argument
about this, which Is becoming Irritat
ing out of all proportion to Its trifling
subject, and we have now decided to
a sic you to decide whether tinted nails
are anything for a husband to grow
rabid about?
Answer: Slnoe the supposition of a
husbnnd's growing rabid over nail
polish Is not quite believable, I'm not
quite sure whether this letter Is In
tended to be answered seriously or to
be taken as a Jest. However, suppos
ing the question to be genuine, I would
say that nails carefully manicured nhd
slighted tinted are certainly In good
taste. Rut gilded or silvered or deep
ly colored ones are something else
again. In fact, those deepest red ones,
whJrh look as though the nail had
been torn off and the finger ends left
bleeding, are revolting to all except
the few who have become Inured to
the shock of them. As a matter of
fact, I doubt very much If a man can
be found who does not hate them.
? ? ?
Dear Mrs. Post : -The other evening
my employer Invited me to go home
to supper with him and his family, so
that afterwards we could finish some
work. Ills wife nnd young daughter
were extremely pleasant and hospita
ble, but never asked me to remove my
hat. I went to the table with It on
and worked for several hours nfter
the meal In the same discomfort. Is
It necessary to wait until the hostess
says something?
Answer: Your employer's wife might
perhaps have asked you If you would
like to take off your hat. Rut I Imag
ine that she thought you preferred tc
keep it on, nine? you did not tnke It
off. before going Into the dining room.
Whenever you go to anyone's house
for nn evening meal and are wearing
a dny dress and hat, you take off the
hat only If you wartt to. Asking any
one to take off hat or glovea la rare
ly If ever heard In the present day. A
hostess sometimes >says to a friend
who continues to sit In a heavy coat,
"Don't you want to take your coat
off?" Thin Is not a phrase of hospital
ity so much as an exclamation made
hecnuse she feels that her guest Is ab
sent-mindedly unaware of her own dls
comfort. *

Why Chrlstlnn Herbs In the Petch
district of Jugoslavia have for cen
turies placed lighted candles In the
cemetery of an old Moslem mosque,
known as Ht. George's columns, has
been revealed by excavations. Those
who followed the custom did not know
why It was done, nnd had neve* heard
a satisfactory explanation from thel*
ancestors. Tho excavations show that
the r.iosque was built by victorious

Lesson for August 19
AMOS DENOUNCES SELF-INDUL

(Temperance Lesson).
LESSON TEXT ? Amos 6:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT ? Seek good, and not
evil, that ye may live: and so the
Lord, the God of h08tt>, shall be with
you, ft s ye have spoken. Amos 6:14.

IC ? Dangers of Self-Indulgence.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC ? Destruction Through Indulg
ence.
Our lesson Is a temperance lessau
nnd applies to other things than In
dulgence In Intoxicating liquors. Our
age is Intoxicated with the love of
pleasure, pursuit of gain, and various
kinds of self-ambltlon.
I. Israel's Reckless Security (vv.
1-3).
Thfcj were blind to the perils that
surrounded them. They trusted in the
mountains of Samaria for Ihelr pro
tection. They regarded their city na
Impregnable. They seemed to have re
garded the utterances of Amos as the
dreams of a fanatic. The same blun
dei-s are belnp; made In America by
those who are depending upon money
and armaments Instead of righteous
ness as the national defense.
II. Israel's Extreme Luxury (vv.
Periods of prosperity are always
characterized by luxury. The luxury
of Israel expressed Itself In:
1. Extravagant furniture (v. 4).
They had beds of Ivory ? perhaps wood
Inlaid with tvory. 2. Indolence (v. 4).
Many lazily stretched themselves on
their couches ? lived lives of Indolence.
Such Is the way of many In America
today.
3. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). Tho
implication here Is that they had their
dainties out of season. They bought
what they desired, regardless of what
It cost.
4. Adorned their fensts with music
(v. ft). They sang Idle songs ? even
Invented musical Instruments for thl3
purpose. How like the times In which
we live I By means of the radio, vul
gar nnd even licentious sentiments aro
carried to our ears through the noble
art of music.
5. They drank wine (v. 6). They
were not satisfied with ordinary
drinking vessels ? they drank from
bowls, indicating excessive drinking.
They were so mastered by the Intoxi
cating cup that their feasts which
were adorned with the refinement of
music ended in drunken debauchery.
III. Israel's Failure to Grieve for
Joseph (v. 8).
Joseph here stands for Ephralm and
Mnnasseh, hla two sons. Ephralro be
came the principal tribe of the north
ern kingdom, so Joseph is used as a
synonym for the nation.
IV. The Inevitable Consequence (vv.
7-11).
1. They shall go Into captivity
(v. 7). The northern kingdom was !
the first In sin and therefore first to
go Into captivity.
2. The calamitous circumstances of
the siege of Samaria (vv. 8-11), The
city with all Its Inhabitants was to be
delivered up to Its enemies.
a. Israel, the first in rank as well
as first in numbers and power, went
first Into captivity.
b. Their revelry to ceaso (v. 7).
There was to be a rude awukening
from their drunken carousals.
c. God's Judgment upon the city In
strange contrast to his love for Jacob
(v. 8). Men, women, nnd children
went Into captivity at the hnnds of
the Assyrians.
d. The surety of God's command
ment (v. 11). The destruction was to
be universal. The rich and the poor,
the large nnd the small were Included.
God has sworn thnt his Judgments
shall fail. He Is a God of Justice.
He is also the God of hosts, the con
troller of tho whole universe, there
fore none can escape. Though God
sometimes waits long, he does not for
get.
V. Israel's Ridiculous Conduct Ex
posed (vv. 12-14). '
1. It wns ns nhnurd ns plowing up
on n rock with oxen. Their hard
hearts were ns unresponslvo to the cnll
of God ns rocks nre to the plow of the
farmer (v. 12).
2. Their honsted (lower ns n nntlon
(v. 13). Outwardly the nntlon wns
characterized by great wealth and
splendor. This n 1 1 wns to pass away
with the stroko of divine Judgment.
S. A nntlon raised up ngninst them
(v. 14.). God raised up the Assyrian
nntlon to punish Isrnel. The very for
tified cities which they boasted of,
Amos tells, would bo tnken nwny nnd
used ngnlnsit them.
N? , rnese
Nearness of life to tho Saviour will
necessarily involve greatness of love
to him. As nearness to the sun in
creases the temperature of tho vari
ous planets, so near nnd lotlmate corn

the soul's affections toward him. ?

HERE'S COMFORT
FOR SNUFFLERS
Common Cold Held Not to
Be Infectious.
A word of comfort for the snufTlers
of the nation has come out of the
West. Tills Is to the effect that doubt
hns been expressed before a session
of the American Association for t lie
Advancement of Science that t lie
common cold is infectious or even of
bacterial origin.
For be It known that persons who
Huffer from common colds, the snuf
tlers on street cars, In the ofllces and
their own firesides are the most mis
erable of persons In addition to their
acute sufferings from colds. They
are under constant suspicion, to bo
avoided and shunned, in the general
belief of most grown-ups and all
grown-ups who have children that
the common cn>ld spreads Its ills In
passing; that it is better even to look
tho other way when a person with a
"code In his hed" Is near.
Tills, of course, Is added bitterness
to , the sufferer, especially so when
he too, believes with the majority
and feels that he Is an Incubator of
disease wherever he may go. l.'nfor
tunately a man with a cold has ids
living to make when he Is ailing just
as he has when lie Is well. If ever.
And lie goes about Ills business
shunned and shunning, miserable in
double measure.
Of course, the doubt that has been
expressed before the science ad
vancement association has not been
proved, but doctors have a way of
holding their beliefs to themselves
unless they have reasonable support
for their beliefs. In this case, I'rof.
William J. Kerr and I>r John II.
I, agon, members of the University of
California's staff or physicians, re
ported experiments iH which all at
tempts to transmit colds by infection
or direct Inoculation hud failed.
Therefore* the doubt laid before the
Association for the Advancement of
Science that the common cold Is in
fectious or of bacterial origin.
This thought, of course, Is not as
surance. Nttr does It license the ad
dict to common colds to go about
among his fellows without the usual
precautions. Hut it does give him
hope that some day he will be re
ceived In society and business a lit
tle less resentfully, after what the
California doctors suggest as a pos
sibility is proved to be fact, if It can
be proved to be fact. And then gen
erally accepted. ? St. Louis Globe
